How can I make a website and then publish it online. I mean, what are the very basic tools etc.. I need. Thanks.

The first step on the way to successfully make a website, is to learn HTML, so I'll suggest you to take this first step. You can choose to use WYSIWYG editor for creating HTML. It means you only have to drag and drop what you'll have on the website, and the WYSIWYG editor will do the rest. Some of the popular include Dreamweaver and Frontpage. You can also choose yo use a basic editor like Notepad, etc.

The next thing you need is a webhost. This webhost hosts your website, so it's accessible for others on the internet. Webhosts are fairly cheap nowadays, and you'll probably only have to pay some bucks every year. You could choose to get your own server as well, but it's more complicated, and if you're new, I'll suggest you to follow the first suggestion.

I agree with v0id, after that you will need other tools to make your website popular

BTW as hosting I would recommend you toastedpenguin.com - Home

So, what website are you planning on making?

If you are looking to open a retail website I would reccomend Yahoo Merchant Solutions. At Least to get you started. That's what I did, but now I am ready to expand a bit so I am using Frontpage to add some pages here and there. That's also why I am poking around this forum. Man I feel stupid when I'm here, though.
